News Release: Paul Barrett launches stunning debut novel

What if something happened to you that forced you to rebuild your life from scratch? No family, no friends, no ties. And what if you only had five months in which to do it? And at the end of those five months you were brought right back to where you started. Again and again and again…

Welcome to Sandy’s world - hit by a car on her eighteenth birthday and in a coma for thirteen years. And, as if the loss of thirteen years is not enough, she finds herself trapped in the same five months, time and time again, from March to August 2006.

Feeling her sanity beginning to fade, she searches desperately for a way out. And she has only one real clue - a song…

Time Ninety-Seven is Paul Barrett’s breathtaking debut novel, following Sandy’s desperate race around the world, a race between the certain need to escape, and the equally certain onset of madness.
